After months of repeatedly suggesting that Michael Bennet[3] is the corrupted recipient of all that is wrong with Washington fat cats, Andrew Romanoff[4]’s campaign spokesman says he would “sell a lot harder” if the boss would only allow it.

When asked if he’s been enjoying the campaign, Teicher has this to say.

Roy Teicher[11]: I have been enjoying it. Truth be told, if we ever got the go-ahead from this gentleman, we could sell a lot harder, much more aggressively. You know, he is, by choice, very dignified and understated and wants us to try to come close to that if we can (laughs).

Andrew Romanoff: (Laughs)

Roy Teicher: And so we have tried to be restrained and respectful, more so than I naturally would be.

Colorado Statesman: Your preference is to go over the top?

Roy Teicher: My preference is to go certainly less dignified, yes.

Andrew Romanoff: Less dignified (laughs).

Your Spotted This Morning correspondent understands Teicher’s just playing the roll of the hired gun, but still.

Well, now Teicher has his chance. If ever a gift has been handed to the Romanoff camp, it is this firing situation.

The campaign said the intern, a 22-year-old senior at Middlebury College in Vermont, had been acting on his own in sending a note by email that violated campaign policy.

“A college student took it upon himself to cross a very serious line that in no way, shape, or form is practiced or supported by this campaign,” said Trevor Kincaid, a campaign spokesman.

Yes, Bennet can distance himself and say the intern was young and rogue, but the goof will beg questions about the character of the campaign, the atmosphere that allowed the intern to act this way.

Booth talked with Romanoff about the intern.

“It raises serious questions,” said Romanoff, who has made much of his campaign about rejecting PAC and special interest donations, in contrast to Bennet. “How many other people were told they could pay to play with the senator? I believe public officials ought to make themselves available to their constituents without a cover charge.”
